Please join Olivia Rodriguez, Women’s Center Sexual Violence Prevention and Education Coordinator, and Fatima Roohi Pervaiz, Women’s Center Director, as they introduce and provide an overview of this year’s remote event, address the power and control dynamics of Domestic Violence, National Child Abuse Prevention Month and the impact of this current pandemic on safety. Resources for support will also be provided.

Please note: There will NOT be a Take Back the Night Speak Out this year. However, additional programming will be provided by the student organization Organization Against Sexual Assault (OASA) via Zoom following the Take Back the Night Virtual March on Thursday 4/30 at 7pm.

This is a survivor-centered movement and a sacred space. We will not tolerate or engage with any actions which seek to disrespect that.
